Im only able to translate the meaning, its not enough to make another poem in English. So, if anyone interested, youre welcome to convert [NVA] Poem about no-windshield truck squad No windshield cuz there is no windshield on the truck Bombs shook and teared them away already Like-a-boss, we sat in the cabin Stare at the ground, the sky and look straight ahead We looked at the wind blowing in our tired eyes Looked at the road runnin straight in our hearts Looked at the star and sudden birdwings Like sand, all storm into our cabins No windshield? Yep, it was dusty Making our hair like old pops Aint need to wash, smoking was fine Looked at comrades faces then laugh No windshield? Yep, it was wet Rainin like in the middle of nowhere Aint need to change, drive for hundreds more clicks Once the rain stopped, the wind would help us dry Trucks from the rain of bombs Gather around to make a squad Meet the folks on the way to battle Hands saked through the no-windshield Hoàng Cầm kitchen built under the sky Sharing the bowl, chopsticks made us a family The cot swayed on the road Just go and see the sky turn blue No windshield, yeah, and we got no headlight No capote, and scratches on the body The squad still ran for the South ahead They just need a heart in the cabin
